Prepare yourselves, lovelies – your Monday morning is about to take one giant leap up in the pretty department. And it’s all because of an uber-stunning Miami engagement session and one of the cutest duos you will ever have the privilege to meet. It’s an ode to laid-back weekend mornings, totally adorable puppies and lazy days in bed with your honey – and it’s all wrapped up in perfect images by Nerissa Sparkman and some beyond glamorous moments that are all kinds of amazing.

From Nerissa Sparkman… Tommie Lee and Paul came to me because they wanted something different. Tommie Lee was bound and determined not to have a “normal” sort of engagement shoot and wanted something that reflected her and Paul’s personalities. They are both firefighters and have a very fun and playful relationship. Her first idea was to do almost a couples boudoir shoot because they definitely wanted to include their two French Bulldogs in the pictures. They wanted to be shot laying in bed, almost as if it were a Sunday morning — coffee in one hand, the paper in the other, with the dogs all snuggled up! Of course I loved the idea, and the shoot simply organically grew from that. I often have my clients create Pinterest boards in order to better communicate visually. I like to say, “You can tell me all you want about a picture, but it’s probably better if you show me. It’s like reading a book. You say, ‘pink’ I see hot pink, but you’re envisioning bubble gum.” Tommie and Paul were very drawn to a shoot that was in GQ recently of Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd, so I said, “Why not? Let’s use that as part of your inspiration and just go with it.” So that is how this particular engagement shoot came to be. I have to say, I may never get the feathers out of my studio, but it was totally worth it!
